It constitutes to a world where physical things and humans and other living things, and virtual information and situations, collaborate with each other. Substantial measure of information is created as expansive number of gadgets is associated with the web. So this expansive measure of information must be controlled and changed over to helpful data keeping in mind the end goal to create productive frameworks. In the world of Internet of Things (IoT) when we have all the technologies to revolutionize our life, it s a great idea to develop a system which can be controlled and monitored from anywhere. In this paper, we concentrate on developing a Smart Bus Tracking and Management System using Arduino Uno, Wi-Fi Module, Router and GPS. Index Terms- Internet of Things (IoT), Arduino Uno, GPS, Router and Wi-Fi module. I. INTRODUCTION As the Wireless Sensor Networks have scientifically advanced more rapidly and more proficiently, they have become the key source for the advancement of IoT. They find use in almost all fields including smart grid, smart transportation systems, smart home, smart hospitals, and so on. The safety of private and public vehicles is a major concern nowadays so having GPS vehicle tracking system ensures their safety while travelling. Bus Tracking System becomes very important these days, especially for students who come late to bus stop. In our College many students and staffs are not aware of exact timing and location of the college bus. So we have planned to implement a smart bus tracking system for easy transport facility using IoT. If you have GPS system installed in your bus, you can track your bus location using Google Maps. Arduino has been used as a platform to work. In this project, we will send the location coordinates to the Cloud or Server via Wi-Fi module using Arduino. In this bus tracking system, we have to use Google Maps, GPS Module for getting the Location Coordinates, Wi-Fi module to send data to computer or mobile over Wi- Fi and Arduino is used to make GPS and Wi-Fi talk to each other. A. Motivation The inspiration for this project was to limit and curtail the difficulties and issues related with Bus transport framework in India. India is a developing country with tremendous population. Here, we confront numerous issues in our day by day life, for example, water, power, logistics, and economy. In this way, to overcome no less than one of these issues as a civilian of our nation I have chosen to contribute my side to provide safe and smart bus tracking and management system. As we experience day to day issues with our bus transport, my commitment is to limit the issues identified with it. The real-time bus position information on Google maps and bus arrival and leaving time is additionally presented. B.

The testing results in this paper give; testing in-vehicle module, testing web server and database, testing smart phone app. In PengfeiZhou [2], foreseeing transport entry time with cell phones is given. Innovation utilized is participatory detecting of users. This model framework with various sorts of Android based cell phones and thoroughly explores different avenues regarding the NTU grounds carry transports and in addition Singapore transports over a 7week time span, then taken after by London in 4- weeks. The proposed framework in arrangement is all the more for the most part accessible and is vitality agreeable. The assessment comes about recommend that the proposed framework accomplishes extraordinary expectation exactness contrasted and those operator initiated and GPS based solutions. The model framework predicts transport entry time with average tolerance of 80 sec. In MashoodMukhtar [10], the vehicle tracking system exhibited in this paper can be utilized for situating and exploring the vehicle with a precision of 10 m. The situating is done as latitude and longitude alongside the correct area of the place, by making utilization of Google maps. The system tracks the area of a specific vehicle on the client's demand and reacts to the client by means of SMS. The got SMS contains longitude and latitude that is utilized to find the vehicle on the Google maps. The vehicle tracking system enables a client to: remotely switch ON the vehicle's ignition system, remotely switch OFF the vehicle's ignition system, remotely bolt the entryways of the vehicle, remotely open the entryways of the vehicle, and remotely track a vehicle's area. II. PROPOSED SYSTEM To design a web based application to the users who wants the real time information of the bus using Arduino, Wi-Fi module, GPS module and Google maps. Our system provides the relevant information regarding all the bus numbers going from user s source & destination along with the route details, real time location. Generally our system is operated by GPS which is attached with the bus. Firstly GPS receives the satellite signals and then the position coordinates with latitude and longitude are determined by it. The location is determined with the help of GPS and transmission mechanism. After receiving the data the tracking data can be transmitted using any wireless communications systems. In this project Arduino UNO is a microcontroller to program with Wi-Fi module. Based on IoT, the students/staff can access this information of a bus based on users source and destination through the android application. Our proposed system gives the real time location of bus. Smart bus tracking technology is advantageous for tracking and monitoring a college bus. III. IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS In the development of smart bus Tracking and Management System controlled by Arduino microcontroller, hardware and software components are needed. A. GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM) MODULE The GPS is a system for calculating position from signals sent by a network of satellites. To accurately determine the position and it is able to determine the strong signals.
